Congrats hmmm, nice find!
Very difficult to tell without some more cleaning but I see wings and perhaps snake scales. Perhaps Quetzalcoatl?
Best wishes and good hunting!

With the green Verdigris showing, I would call it silver plate over copper.

Seriously man, I actually did a picture search for that cause I was thinking what the heck, they make stuff like this, must be their counterfeit beer partner in the Czech.

Noooo Oddjob!
The Czech product was the original. It's called Urquell, and is said to be the original model for all modern light lagers. In Germany it's referred to as the Czech Budweiser. It's available in the US but in a highly processed and lower alcohol version. The version most preferred in Germany is unfiltered, unpasteurized and about ten percent in alcohol content. They come in a four pack and if you drink all four you just might see Quetzalcoatl! Wonderful flavor though!
Best wishes and great comments!

They lost their court case again the US based company in their own country, internationally and state side for not being the first to exist. Then shortly after in 2013 Interpol and local authorities raided them in the Czech, and found out that their plants where producing one third of all the boo leg booze in the country.
They are currently being sued by major food companies and booze companies from the states for producing counterfeit booze.
If they would have not opened their big mouth back in the late 60s claiming to have been the first one, then chances are they could have avoided the millions in fines they have already gotten.

Looks like a machine stamped copper cuff bracelet with electroplate silver. It could be pure copper but more likely it's brass with silver electroplate.
Verdigris is only found on copper items. Silver itself does not tarnish and when it's alloyed with copper (sterling) the oxidation is black - not green.
The design looks more like late Egyptian revival (1970s) than American but that's just a guess. Considering the bracelet is very unlikely to have any collector value I would think it might be worthwhile to clean the surface to reveal the design.

Yep,, I see feathers,
Rub the edge with a baking soda paste to get an idea if it is silver or plated.
